Cautionary note: this post contains profanity. A 28 year-old guy named Justin is writing down the things his 73 year old Dad says and sharing them on Twitter. His feed is titled “Shit My Dad Says.”  The tweets are awesome.  Justin’s Dad is awesome.  I can only surmise that Justin must be awesome as well, despite Dad’s frequent and colorful critiques. As of the time of this post, he has 129, 825 followers (Yes, that’s more than pictured below.  Since I took the screenshot below, he’s gotten 429 new followers. Dude.)

This is my favorite tweet.  It has a personal connection to me, to Sol, and to our buddy Joel.  If I were forced to give this a numeric rating from 1to10, it would be a 10.  No holds barred.  Justin is the man right now, and so is his Dad.

Update:

Techcrunch picked up this story on August 28th, and graciously gave a link back.  Following that, the LA Times also covered this phenomenon on September 2nd.  According to Mark Milian at the Times, Justin’s in coversation for a book deal.  Mazel Tov!

Also, at the time of this update, Justin has more than doubled his Twitter followers since my original post.  He’s currently at 308,955 followers.  Egad.
